Kilpailun tehtävänanto

(1) I attached my 3 characters in 3d for REFERENCE ONLY. Here they are older and in high school. You can see their colors and look.
(2) I attached MY idea of how I thought these characters would look like as 2D CUTE cartoon design for preschoolers.
(3) I want to see YOUR design of how YOU THINK these 3 characters would look as CUTE and younger. Use your creativity and create your own CUTE versions of these characters.
(4) Send your best FULL COLOR, 2d CUTE cartoon character design of each character: GIRL, ELEPHANT and BEE.

CHARACTERS need to be cute, full color, and simple cartoon for 2D animation.
These characters will be for very young children ages 3-7 years old.

CHARACTERISTICS of characters:
GIRL: (9 yrs old) a living doll, her star necklace is magical, she is NOT very good at magic, she is creative, silly, fun, very wise, caretaker to bee and elephant.
ELEPHANT (5 yrs old): knows karate, very shy, loves science, sensitive, like bee's younger sister, the bee annoys.
BEE (7 years old): ADHD, impulsive, lacks manners, trixster to elephant, like older brother to elephant.

AGES they need to look like as 2D FULL COLOR:
GIRL: 9 years old
BEE: 7 years old
ELEPHANT: 5 years old

Once again: The attached 3d images are showing what they look like older. I need them younger as 2d ONLY in elementary school. Cute, cartoon, pleasing to the 3-7 year old crowd.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for their participation in this competition. Art is a style choice. You are all so very talented. Just because we don't choose you doesn't mean it isn't good but just may not be the style we are currently looking for. Keep drawing, practice makes perfect. I work with artists who work with studios out here in Los Angeles. We are always looking for that hidden gem. Commercial look (would sell on products), reliable, responsive, works really fast, dependable, meets deadlines, easy to work with, listens well, very creative, talented, great personality in characters, takes direction well, works extremely hard.

I'd love to see the characters also posed as a team. You could have two images of them together as a team and then one with them spread out so I can see them fully. These characters LOVE each other and are best friends in the whole wide world. Let's see that love :)

The girl is a living doll. Kinda like toy story, how the dolls are alive. So it would be great if she looks kinda like a doll you would see at the store to buy your little girl. I see one image where she could be a doll and that is a great direction.

GOAL: Commercial, Disney-style, 3 heads tall. Just a quick reminder: 3d images are of the characters as teenagers. Looking for them to be girl age 9, bee is a boy age 7, elephant age 5 (preschool)

The bee should still be a bee face. Bee is based of live show mascot so he still needs to keep his general 3d look but just interpreted how he'd look at 7 instead of as 16.

So far we've got some great looks. We don't have a perfect all 3 yet, though, so still work on fixing suggestions so we can get a great team.

Wow! What do I do when I love one person's elephant and one person's bee and one person''s girl. Maybe I should have did them individually $33 per character....urg!

Yes, I will wait until the deadline before closing contest. 1 day 21 hours remaining. NOTE about the bee: The bee is actually a human bee. He smelled a magical flower and it turned him human. So he wouldn't look like what we think of when we think of a typical bee. GOOD HEIGHTS for characters: Elephant would come up to about girl's eyes. BEE antennae would come up to top of elephant head.

Hello CH! Kindly wait until the deadline before closing the contest, I'm currently working on the sketches. Thank you very much!

I have gotten some more questions so I will answer them here :) In general, I like the heads bigger than the bodies with the characters averaging about 3 heads tall. The elephants is more like a loveable teddy bear, she's squishy, something you'd want to hug, more rounded, less squares, less triangular shapes. If the elephant has clothes, something that would be comfortable to run around and play in. Kids get hot and don't like restrictive clothing.

There are images I uploaded that everyone can see that are 3d of them as teenagers. So I am looking for younger versions of how they may look younger. So the elephant would still have the same shaped ears even though her body and face may look different younger.......These characters are currently in a live touring show so it is important that their look can still be recognized in them as younger characters........if that makes sense :)
